The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Victorian silver card cases were designed to protect and store visiting or calling cards, which were an essential part of formal social etiquette during the nineteenth century.

These cases were typically raised from sheet silver, shaped with hand tools, and fitted with precision spring hinges and clasps to ensure secure pocket storage.

Authentic British pieces feature a full set of hallmarks stamped into the metal, including the makers mark, town mark, lion passant for sterling purity, and a date letter.

A silver card case can be repurposed as a desktop business card holder, displayed inside a glass curio cabinet, or arranged on a tray alongside other antique desk items.

Silver should be cleaned periodically using a gentle, non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, then stored in a low-humidity environment to prevent oxidisation.
